Shipping Industry Braces for Stricter Carbon Emission Rules

Shipping Industry Braces for Stricter Carbon Emission Rules

The IMO's new CII regulation will assess and rate ships' carbon emissions, impacting operational costs, customer choices, and routes. The shipping industry needs to accelerate decarbonization efforts to meet these challenges. CII ratings will influence chartering decisions and potentially devalue less efficient vessels. Proactive measures like adopting energy-efficient technologies and alternative fuels are crucial for shipowners to maintain competitiveness and comply with evolving environmental regulations. This regulation aims to drive down carbon intensity in the maritime sector and promote a more sustainable future for shipping.

EU Aviation Carbon Policy Spurs Global Climate Action Debate

EU Aviation Carbon Policy Spurs Global Climate Action Debate

The EU's aviation carbon emission policy, a pioneering attempt to address climate change, incorporates the aviation industry into the carbon emission trading system, encouraging airlines to reduce their carbon footprint. This policy has elicited complex reactions internationally and provides a reference for the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Customs authorities need to actively adapt, strengthen cooperation, and enhance professional capabilities to contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts. This includes monitoring emissions, enforcing regulations, and collaborating with international partners to ensure effective implementation of the policy.
